Powerlooms of Cubbonpete

Walking through the Cubbonpete with two shoulder-mounted condenser mics and a field recorder in my backpack, I was able to capture the sounds of several power-loom industries located in the tiny back-roads. The looms "loom" into focus as I approach them and fade out as I walk away, and each of them carries a distinctive mechanised rhythmic repetitive noise that can be heard clearly, even from outside their buildings on the pavement.
